Yshani Perinpanayagam

Yshani is a pianist, composer and music director from London, specialising in not specialising.

As a relatively new composer, her sound is currently an ever-evolving mash-up of her varied musical tastes and personal worlds; this currently includes elements of contemporary classical music, dirty grooves, Sri Lankan parents, game and play, melancholy, and activism.

Patrons supporting Yshani will be invited to join her journey as she continues to find her feet as a composer as she shares drafts of new works, personal revelations about her process, improvised experimentations on rough-and-ready material etc., as well as further insight into her performing career.
